Third Person POV-
Location: Olkarion
Time: Unknown

The team including the twins entered the control room and saw Lotor and Allura hanging out.

"Look, it's Prince Lotor, hanging out on the bridge."
"Guess this is a thing...now."
"I suppose we'll have to get used to it—like my Zarbloovian intestinal eel."
"Your what?"

Shiro walked into the room first and stood in front of Lotor.

"What's going on, Lotor?"
"The death of my father has created a power vacuum within the Galra Empire. The more formidable Galra Leaders will gather for what's called, The Kral Zera some time in the next two days. They're who will take the throne, we must be there."

The room went silent as people didn't know what to say.

"So, you want us to fly into the middle of a meeting with all of the most powerful Galra leaders?"
"Lotor, we appreciate all that you've sacrificed for the galaxy and for us but, this sounds far too dangerous."

"We've been in more dangerous situations with much less to gain." Shiro claimed as he spoke with a stern tone of voice. "Putting Lotor on the Galra throne is what we've been discussing."

"Yeah, but no one told us that would mean flying into a war zone." Pidge said disagreeing with Shiro.

"I agree with Pidge, but people are still after the Lions it wasn't just Zarkon so going is too risky. We are talking about the most power hungry, powerful, leaders in the Galra Empire trying to take the throne. It's much too dangerous we need more time then two days to come up with a plan." Y/n said while looking at Shiro in the eyes.

"Y/n, is correct. We can't plan an operation this important in less then two days."
"We don't have a choice."

"I'm with Allura," Lance spoke up, "We need time to think this through."

"Lance, this isn't your call to make."

Lance looked shocked for a second almost hurt but kept quiet, Y/n looked at Lance then at Shiro with confusion but also decided not to speak up.

"Allura, the Coalition wouldn't be where it's at right now without Lotor. We need to listen to him."
"Well, I'm with Allura too. This is to dangerous to pull off at the last second."
"Agreed, so it looks like it's 5-to-2 in the Princess's favor."

"Look this isn't a vote, I'm the leader of Voltron. I'm making this decision." Shiro said in a frustrated manner, he seemed to be losing his temper.

"Like when you armed Lotor with your bayward without consulting the rest of us? Your team?"
"That's right. Making that decision resulted in the removal of Zarkon."
"You put the entire operation in jeopardy."
"I put an end to Zarkon's reign! Now it's time to finish the job."

The tension in the room raised as Allura and Shiro were just staring at each other. Lance decided to do something about it.

"Shiro, we're all on the same side here."
"I told you to stay out of this!"

Y/n instantly went to Lance's defense as he pushed Shiro back.

"You sound like an idiot right now! We are a team, Lance is the Red Paladin, he has a say in this no matter what. We all do! This mission can lead to death, this isn't some rescue mission! The leaders aren't going to be Merciful just because Prince Lotor is there or because Voltron is there."
"Y/n-"
"No! Shut up! Shut the fuck up! Don't you say anything, I get a say in this because I was the Black Paladin for some time! Lance, can and WILL get a say in this. This mission you're talking about is a death wish! To Voltron and to yourself! If you're actually doing this plan then you're wasting it by yelling at Lance for no reason! More powerful forces are out there conspiring to take the throne and its power so yelling at Lance does nothing in your favor."
